Proposal: Create an OpenWrt package for hnsd

[SquanchingInHere]

"Currently OpenWrt is used as a base for about 10% to 30% of all home routers and CPE device sold world wide." [source]

Therefore, there's a tremendous opportunity to expand the Handshake community by integrating with OpenWrt.

According to some of the OpenWrt guys, the easiest integration route would be to convert hnsd into a package:

https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/packages

That would allow existing OpenWrt users to install the package (and use hnsd), and it would allow us to create custom firmware images that have the package preinstalled (we could then talk to router manufacturers about using those images and ultimately deploy Handshake-enabled devices to the general public).

I'm all for this - working with Sentinel - they support Handshake on their nodes and they support HNS resolver in their node -
https://github.com/sentinel-official/docs/blob/master/guides/nodes/dVPN/CONFIGURATION.md#handshake

Handshake

Name | Description | Default -- | -- | -- Enable | Enable Handshake DNS resolver | true

@skyinclude I would love to know more about this -- all I've seen is this configuration page, but I don't know what it means.

@SquanchingInHere are you able to review #72 ?

Would you be interested in maintaining the package for openwrt? Or at least opening the PR to their repo which I believe is https://github.com/openwrt/packages

I want to be able to execute opkg install hnsd on an open router, and start resolving Handshake names!

If you open that PR I will send you 500 HNS

Checking in to see if anyone moved on this idea?
